A little love letter to my mi miel family ✨

I finally found a moment to sit down, take a breath & share a little of what’s been happening behind the scenes at mi miel ~ my life force baby

After years of being told to show up online every day, I decided to return to something much simpler. Having spent so much of my career expressing brands, both my own and my clients’, online, I felt called to step away from the screen and reconnect with people in the real world.

I wanted to meet you, hear your stories, see you experience the products, and build a community face to face. And it’s been nothing short of glorious.

My spiritual mentor of 15 years @myintuitivevibe has always taught me to trust my instincts, and this time, they led me straight to the markets.

From the Channon Markets, close to where I grew up, to Burleigh Markets, where I lived for many years, the incredible Mind Body Spirit Festival, and the Night Witches Market at Miami Marketta, I’m so grateful for everyone who has welcomed mi miel into their lives.

We’ve met beautiful people, shared stories, created new products, and found so much inspiration for where we’re heading in 2027.

For now, we’re preparing for Christmas and all the little treasures still to come ~ new perfume drops, cleansers etc etc

To everyone who has visited a stall, discovered a new favourite, shared a kind word, or made mi miel part of their daily rituals YOU ARE MY WORLD ~ I’m here to serve you, and I feel so blessed to be growing this little world alongside you.

Here’s to trusting our instincts, beautiful rituals & making new friends.

With all my love,

Brie
Founder, mi miel
Vibrational Beaute ✨

P.S Shout out to seeing my girlie pops wearing their little mi miel bags out in Europe & Africa on holidays (it was my dream to never sell anything in a box that just gets binned)

Too busy to post has to be a good thing! It’s been good crazy. Photo dump update ✨ Since I launched @mi_miel__ It’s been a life of flower (stalking) foraging blend of living between Sydney & Queensland ~ with that happening, I caught a few birthdays that I haven’t always been able to be there for, had a lot of Aunty time, Went direct to consumer as a market gal ~ and had so, so much joy and fun with my new and wonderful customer base. Invented a couple of new products, @hannah_hearn came home 🥹 @laurabellaevans became a food critic @sibella.paints became an artist, learnt to line dance 💃. We create magic rain hail or shine ~ Thank you for the memories, the lessons & the love. Earth experience ~ I love you x

I thank my lucky stars that life becomes more bountiful with every passing year overflowing with wild and wonderful magic and endless discoveries. A beautiful reminder that there is always more to learn, to feel and to simply marvel at in this magnificent world 🤍

Happy birthday, Suite One ~ Potts Point.

Six years old this Easter.

It feels like a moment ago and a lifetime all at once.

In February 2020, I took over the lease of a dark, deep-blue art deco space ~ a little commercial space holding more history than light. I left it in the hands of painters and went to stay with family, while it was softened, brightened & reborn, on the second coat of white the painters left in covid lockdown hysteria & eventually by Easter I moved back in.

It was a recovery project for me after a few major challenges & return to safety in photography, video, playing dress-ups, styling… and the deep joy of supporting others in bringing their visions & brands to life.

I moved in on Good Friday, rain pouring, the streets empty, carrying boxes and hope, alone but not lonely, just standing at the edge of something unknown with little Jim Dog, soon to become a passionate studio dog, both of us wondering how this little business-that-could would find its feet in a world that had suddenly stood still.

Over the years life has gathered here in many forms,
laughter spilling from long tables, ideas taking shape, brands being born, images captured, stories shared.

Each moment settles gently into the bones of the space, leaving a trace & a memory.

We adorn, we strip back, we begin again
forever reshaping

Thank You to everyone who has supported & honoured the space & myself. Let’s create more mems

Love Brie x

2025 was filled with so many memories.
Potts Point Palace, blooming and busier than ever. I became a flower farmer, A very special graduation took place in America, There were cocktail lessons at the Plaza on the day I saw Carrie (gently chasing after her)
We celebrated a very special friend on a very special birthday, a truly cherished time we will never forget. The LOVR CLUB was born, There were Byron trips and babies born. We lost people we deeply love in this earthly experience, knowing we will meet again.
My greatest takeaway was to hold each other close, to cherish every moment big and small, and to never forget to look for the magic, or better yet, to expect magic @suiteone_pottspoint
